Why do I feel like I just clicked on Dutch Folk music --- is Lithuanian folk that close to Dutch? I have to look this up - it's almost identiical. Thank you for sharing - my own ancestry traces to Lithuania. ty

[theatheistgal]

Wooden shoes? really? Maybe that was left out of my culture lesson..lol

[nicholeM17]

I have no idea why but wooden just make me laugh! Could you imagine if you of those bad boys came of and hit someone in the head? Lol. But I must say it's a very neat dance :):)

[DAKPLAT]

@csizmaskandor that´s right i think it too, greetings from Mexico

[reisuts]

wonderful music and pretty cool dance

[evaniax]

Is this really a traditional dance? I can't imagine going to a village and seeing people do this for a festival etc...

It's pretty interesting and unique. It's like a ballet ho-down.... lol.

[ievapaul]

it's not an authentic folk dance. this video is taken from the modern folk dance performance "people" (or "zmones" in lit.) authored by famous lithuanian choreographer A.Cholina.

[mazemakasejulija]

[Wajlonis]

Hey, you propably don't know but those wooden shoes are not Dutch idea. Even my father, who was born and brought up in tiny village near lithuanian border in lithuanian family remembers that they were normal, everyday shoes.

[franner2002]

I want wooden shoes...

[DisneyFosho]

I`m your east neybor

I like your style

[mikolajoskierko]

...sad. You should be proud, not depressed, you live in a very beautyfull country with great history, nice folk dances and nice girls ;)

[manometras]

Because people think that Lithuania should be better, they imagine that Lithuania is the worst place on earth when they see that people in Sweden have more fun. :D Lithuanians are angry one at another and depressed. Maybe because people here have too many stereotypes and unrealistic dreams that they can't fulfill? Maybe because kids feel unloved and are shouted at everytime they make some childish mistake, like damaging their cloths or not wanting to eat or sit like the adults wish. ;)

[manometras]

It was made to show Lithuanian mass dances created in XX century using the original Lithuanian folk music and folk dance elements... But sure, in the show, ACh was searching for connections among Lithuanian and Irish, Dutch & other cultures, because she was ironic a bit. The Lithuanian crosses with pagan symbols were joined with the windmill image. Both the clogs and the windmills were very similar both in Lithuania & in the Netherlands; it's like a joint.

[smilysuperfreak]

most scandinavian cultures have very simmilar roots as if you go to ikea and buy christmas decorations there you will see that they are very simmilar to lithuanian ones

[manometras]

It was the dance theatre of Andželika Cholina. The show is called zmones :)

[mergaiteMilda]

Nice. I remember watching similar things on tv with my grandma when I was little. We had only three tv channels then: LNK, Tele 3 (now TV 3), and Baltija.

[ilyasr2]

during the soviet times you mean? that's cool.

[senseofmeaning]

man patīk :)

[valdasj]

The wooden shoes (clogs) were used in many parts of Europe including Lithuania. However dutchmen and swedes are the ones who managed to promote them as their national symbols. And the things in the background are not windmills, but traditional Lithuanian crosses (they are spinning just to make the background more dynamic).

If I remember correctly this dance is directed by a modern dance director Angelina Cholina.

[EQBurtininke]
